Description: Dr. Wignall, Headmaster of the venerable public school of St. Mark's, is fiercely proud of the institution. But this pride has been considerably shaken by the murder of a teacher's daughter in the nearby woods. As Mr. Prenderby, the charismatic master of North House, uncovers a sordid undercurrent of gambling, blackmail and immorality amongst the schoolboys, another murder is committed - this time, one of the pupils. When one of the teachers bolts, the police think they are trailing the killer - but are they?
